Maybe you're right...maybe THAT'S why I'm a physics grad student. I even know how lasers work now!
Did I say that? No, it doesn't mean you are going to be a serial killer and again if your school had no problem with you playing lasers then play all the lasers you want to. I've never worked in an elementary school but I will tell you what happens in preschool when kids play with guns inevitably it ends up with at least one child crying or pushing the other child because their friend just "shot" them. There are entirely practical reasons for stopping children playing with guns.

But aside from that this school had a rule. The child broke the rule. The child got a warning about breaking the rule. When did it become a bad thing to discipline children?
